North and Central American (CONCACAF) 2026 World Cup qualifying schedule, results, table

CONCACAF’s qualification process for the 2026 World Cup has been quite unusual given the three spots allotted to hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States for the tournament.

And it’s yielded unusual results.

Curacao are in the World Cup for the first time, Haiti are back for the first time in over a half-century, and Panama are making a return after eight years away.

Remarkably, we will neither see Costa Rica, Honduras, or Trinidad and Tobago take their place at the World Cup. Suriname and Jamaica may still make it via the inter-confederation playoffs.
